(4.5 Stars) In addition to what you expect, it shows that old folks still have huge creative talent. Still one of the best pictures of 2019.

Never Look Away

(4.5 Stars) A German drama tracing the life of an East-German artist who struggles to find his true art form, and the meaning of his life. Professional critics didn’t like this as well.

(3 Stars) Although laced with fun and titillating moments throughout, the movie doesn’t deliver a totally coherent message.

Roma

(5 Stars) Probably the best movie of the year and a great example of excellence in all dimensions. A must-see film.
